coldburn22 answered Wednesday November 24 2004, 6:17 pm: well it seems that if he that protective then he really likes you. when i flirt my bf gets mad too and he never told me so one dayb i sat down with him and i said how am i supposed to fix what im doing wrong if you dont tell me why ur mad. and after a while he started to tell me evey time there was something wrong .so try sitting down with him and talk to him. and i mean about the he sees you with other ppl it just means hes jealouse and hes afraid of you leaving him. well sry if i didnt help out much but i hope i helped some.

Perroni_X3s_you answered Wednesday November 24 2004, 5:50 pm: well it seems that this relationship is lacking on some trust! you have got to talk to him about this and let him know that your not gonna do anything stupid like cheat on him and also tell him that you want the relationship to be open which means that when either of you have something to say...you actually say it! Hope I helped!

zapreth answered Wednesday November 24 2004, 5:22 pm: A certain amount of fear is a part of any budding relationship. He's afraid to loose you. It sounds like he's going a bit too far though. Controlling behavior, which includes over-protectiveness, needs to be watched closely. He doesn't trust your relationship enough to let you be yourself around other men. Sometimes this can be worked out with time and sometimes... You don't want a man who doesn't care what you do, but it can get out of hand and abusive really fast. Depending on his personality when you try to talk about it, and you should, he may shut down and become unresponsive. Let him know you are afraid of loosing him because he doesn't trust you. It also sounds like he is jelous of his friend for having you first and also if his friend couldn't hold you how can he? You're dealing with fear and ego and it sounds like a touch of childish I won't share my toys kind of thing. Well you aren't a toy and you care enough about him to try to find an answer. He has you now, not his friend. It may not work out between you two if he won't open up and admit even to himself why he's so bothered. (He may not know. It's easier looking back than forward.) Hope this brings you some clarity though I doubt it will actually help the overall situation. Good luck! [ zapreth's advice column | Ask zapreth A Question ]

Everyguy is a little protective and guys get jealous easy, even though dont show it. Talk to him about how you want him to tell you if theres something wrong and not to hold back his feelings
